Coffeebreak 10/02/2007
On this morning’s Coffeebreak:
Rick’s guests were Bruce Florence and Carrie Smith of Maysville Community and Technical College’s Licking Valley Campus.
Before getting into the discussions of MCTC-LVC, Bruce announced that the Harrison County High School has a guest speaker appearing this afternoon in the high school auditorium. Nick Clooney will be present to present the story of the “ongoing, slow-motion genocide” that is taking place in Darfur. Clooney has presented presented these images before, one of the most recent being at Wilmington College–an article published by the Wilmington News Journal of that visit is available at . Clooney’s presentation will begin at 1:00p.m. Citizens are welcome to attend, and may contact the Harrison County High School at 859.234.7117 for more information.
Bruce announced that registration for the spring semester of KYVU classes began yesterday.
On a sad note, Bruce mentioned that KCTCS is unsure of how their enrollment numbers are fairing, for it was recently discovered that through the course of counting students, some had been counted twice, as they had dropped their status from full- to part-time or vice versa.
Carrie, speaking on behalf of the Continuing Education program mentioned that there are two classes available to the public which still have plenty of space. The first class is the learning of sign language, which will meet on Tuesday nights, beginning on October 9th–the class earns a 1/2 college credit. The second class is on the use of Microsoft Powerpoint. The Powerpoint class will meet on Monday nights, beginning October 15th, and will earn 1/2 college credit as well.
Carrie also proudly announced that there will be classes available for the citizens of Berry, at the new community center, which will make use of the newly installed computers and broadband Internet service. Courses will cover the basic use of a PC, including how to use e-mail, ebay, and how to browse the Internet. Each class will be limited to eight students.
Rick approached the topic of the expansion of the Licking Valley Campus. Bruce stated that after having funds denied for the past three years, she feels optimistic that the school will be awarded funds for an addition this year. In the meantime, Custom Wood Products will be erecting a storage building for the school to temporarily house equipment that is not currently in use. Bruce stated that, “the need for space is really overwhelming.”
The last topic of discussion this morning was the “Ghost Walk.” Bruce reminded us that there will be, through the month of October, a walking tour of haunted locations in Cynthiana. Discussion then went to the ghosts that haunt WCYN (which is one spot on the tour). [I will publish the text of the tour’s advertisement in the next post. – Jeremiah]
This morning’s sponsors were:
State Farm Insurance, the Harrison County Board of Education, Jetubs, Cockrell’s Auto Center, BluegrassTradingPost.com, Chase Jewelers, Whalen & Company, Eastside Pharmacy, and the Bourbon Community Hospital.
Navy Buildings Show Symbol of Nazi Germany
Through the use of Google Earth, the Anti-Defamation League in San Diego discovered and lodged complaint against the US Navy for a series of barracks that are arranged in such a manner to give the appearance of a swastika.
The Navy has been appropriated $600,000 to try to camouflage the appearance of the swastika.
